Applying Cavity Pressures

You can apply cavity pressure to an existing fluid cavity. You can apply the cavity pressure for two-dimensional and three-dimensional models, as well as axisymmetric models.

Before you begin: Define a fluid cavity in the Structural Model Creation app, as described in Defining Fluid Cavities.

  1. From the Loads section of the action bar, click Cavity Pressure .
  2. Optional: Enter a descriptive Name.
  3. Select a Fluid cavity to which you apply pressure.

    You can select a fluid cavity by clicking its glyph in the 3D area. For axisymmetric models, you must select the fluid cavity using the tree, because there is no glyph for the fluid cavity.

  4. Enter a value for the Cavity pressure, which is the pressure you apply to the fluid.
  5. Click OK.
